Dana White loves Mike Tyson
In 2017, White received a taste of boxing promotion in the construction of Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor.
Curious boxing journalists interviewed the MMA Mogul about his favorite hunters during a pre-Fight Scrum.
White spoke to several boxers, but it was clear that he ranked a heavyweight legend above the rest.
'I am a big one [Marvin] Hagler fan, “he said.
“Evidently, [Mike] Tyson is the best to ever happen, in my life, as a fan of combat sports …
“I love the man. We have been friends for a long time. I am still in the awe when he is in the room.”
Mike Tyson supports the boxing movement of Dana White
White was told to 'hold on to UFC' by angry boxing fans who responded to his key role in Canelo vs Crawford.
The UFC boss has had to deal with widespread hostility since he joins Turki AlenShikh to revolutionize boxing.
Yet he has found an ally in Mike Tyson, who supports him as a great success in the sport that made him.
“I think he's going to do well,” said “Iron Mike.”
“He will not let the boxers benefit from him.
“They all need that thing that they all need now, a trust fund.
“They will manipulate you.”
